Course Description
Study of the major materials used in industrial engineering, considering structure and properties, testing methods (destructive and nondestructive), and microscopic examination. Materials will be classified into four broad groups as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The fundamental aspects of mechanical and engineering/design properties and selected major industrial processes will be discussed.
